The Crimean theme does not leave my thoughts in any way. Sat here reviewed photos from the campaign in 2010, when we walked through the Great Crimea canyon, and realized that not all of them were laid out, a report about a great trip, you had to write about many places and show them on photos. And in fact, this landmark worthy of a separate article. And, to see her optional be a hiker and go hiking. Just sit down public transport and the usual asphalt road from Simferopol (from Yalta harder) to get to the canyon. Of course you don’t pass it all, but it is not necessary 
I remember when we walked with backpacks along the top of the canyon and somewhere in its the middle went down to wander through the bizarre stone grooves, formed by water, then met a group of ordinary tourists in slaps and bathing suits that went from the bottom. True, they were already decent tired and obviously it would be time for them to come back. Sure they got no less impressions than us. So this is the one natural attraction in the Crimea, which must be seen in first of all.

Photo of the Grand Canyon of Crimea
Description of our campaign in the Crimea at this link, and here only photos of the canyon itself. By the way, its length is more than 3 kilometers, depth about 300 meters, width in some places only 3 meters, and age is approaching two million years. Of course to see all its beauty you need to go through the river to the end, that is, further Lake Blue and Bath Youth. But even on this popular the route has something to see. Only better not go after rain and closer to the end of summer when the water is blue and clear and its not so much.
Blue and clear water
The entire length of the canyon we passed only on top, and someday I would love to pass it along the channel. There truth partially swim will have to “go” because there are deep baths, which by no means get around, and sometimes you need will be climbing, but even more interesting. You just have to think as a marching backpack.

Somewhere in the middle of the Grand Canyon
The water is mirror-clear
The bed is covered with stones in some places
You have to jump from stone to stone
But there is always the opportunity to swim
Feel like a fairy tale
Sometimes the channel narrows.
They did not go further, because it was necessary to swim
